Ok. Right now my truck sits slightly un-level down by 1 inch on driver side (I think). Do you think if I added leafs it would raise the truck unevenly?
BTW: I'm asking all these questions cause I was thinking of doing this on my trucks also, good to know these things....

before you do anything, get a front shackle bushing kit. Sounds like it's broken down. Takes about an hour to do both and that I bet will level you back out. Check your body bushings too. Mine had my body sag 1 1/2". Pm me, I've got a pair of poly front shackle bushings if your interested. After that see where your at ride height.

Sorry country boy, not to hijack your thread but has anyone heard of using hockey pucks and grade 8 bolts for the radiator core support, any good? Would a broken down rad. core support cause body sag?

the radiator core support body bushing is only about 1/4" tall thats not encased with steel. its to prevent the fan from doing any damage if the bushing breaks down. the front and rear cab mounts sag though. i got a 1 1/2" sag outta my rear and 1/2" outta my front. hockey pucks are NOT the way to go. rig, rig, rig. its 135 for a complete bushing kit from summit racing.com for a ttb 2wd truck, all you need after that kit is a front spring kit and that will replace everything! you can also get them in pieces though LMC

Hey guys, just before I buy, do these look right? I just wanna make sure these will work and are the right ones for body bushings and leaf spring bushings.
